Student loan debt usually can't be discharged through bankruptcy so it's unlikely to cause some kind of panic sell-off even if the loans being made are low quality. The debt will continue to be a noose around the neck of consumer

This has been my experience as well. Most of the writers are either under so much pressure to pump out articles they just simply don't have time to fully vet every source OR they're a contractor and don't care to seriously ve

To my knowledge, licenses aren't limited anymore and it's fairly easy to get an interstate license. State licensing varies but generally, it's easy as well.

It's actually a good industry to look at for any economist looking to study regulation affects. In the 80s they deregulated the industry which led to a proliferation of shady movers and scams. Since the 80s they've been slowly add

For intrastate moves only about half of US states require a license. For long distance, interstate moves it's federally regulated and requires a license. Do a quick google search on 'moving scams' and this should give you a g

Can confirm, the moving industry is still a 'good ole boys network.' I've seen quite a few well-funded startups in the space fail and one of the culprits (among many) is usually because the movers are very skeptical of new se

Very interesting read, although like most things HFT it just all seems so ridiculous. Why aren't exchanges just rate limited so everyone gets the same execution time? Because I have better execution time I get to profit? I don't s

Agreed, article is pretty shallow in analysis as well.

Been seeing so much bad press on the tax bill but I feel like it's partially because I frequent more liberal-leaning sources (reddit, HN, Facebook friends). Can anyone post some well reasoned articles for the tax bill? Also, Social Sec

The interesting point in the article though is that anti-trust laws already have enough teeth to regulate bad ISP behavior. I'm not sure if this is totally true or if the wait and see approach and then regulate makes sense, but it is h

Not sure I totally agree with everything but I thought this was very insightful. The whole argument around net neutrality has gotten very "cultish" and partisan when really the issue deserves deep analysis. Followup post is also g

Very few people understand just how difficult it is to operate in the moving industry. Having worked with a lot of moving companies, here are just a few reasons: -In terms of stress, moving ranks just under death and divorce. Movers joke th

Companies are paying less and less for big expensive corporate moves. Many household good drivers don't actually make that much money when it's all said and done (and it's very hard work). I do like his descriptions of the ar

Interesting concept. There is definitely an opportunity out there for some kind of Patreon meets reddit model but the execution on these types of businesses is particularly hard to pull off.

Very interesting issue although I would say as it relates to humans, our diets are already so poor and artificial that changing eating habits and what we put in our food could likely balance out some of this nutrient loss in the actual plan
